Tanking does not guarantee a good QB

[Panthers Fan 69]

Most QBs taken high in the last 10 years have been busts. Just play for the wins.

Just cuz u get number 1 pick doesn’t mean u have to draft a QB!! Strong defense usually wins u a Super Bowl!!

Are you proposing we keep doing the same thing we’ve done for the past 3 years at qb?

And you made the point of not tanking for a QB.  We drafted Horn in 2021 who at this point is better than any of the QBs in that draft.

At some point we really need to draft a QB. Most starters are first round picks. So we likely need to get our guy there. It doesn’t have to be the top pick, but we need to find a solution via the draft.

I think we agree?? Lol.. it’s way too early to know where we we will be in the draft of course!! The way early qb hype is crazy.. my buddy is a Florida Gator fanatic!! Asked him about Richardson.. he was like nahhh!! And he doesn’t like talking down about his team.. seen early mocks for him to Panthers.. it’s a crap shoot

We haven’t drafted a qb with our picks.

Nothing guarantees a good QB

But if you have a shot at getting a good QB you take it and live with the consequences lol.

Over half this board wouldn't want Allen if he were in this years draft, rightfully so because none of us knew his intangibles, work ethic and desire to win and get better.

Truth of the matter is with QB you just keep swinging until you get it right. 

[Panthers Fan 69]

Some of y’all I swear. Point of the whole thread is just go try to win.

We probably have to draft a qb this year.  But I agree that tanking to do it is unlikely to pay off.

True, but does not change the fact that the further back you go in the draft, the worse and worse your odds get of obtaining a quality qb. Just because the odds are not great drafting top ten does not mean they're not still better than the horribad odds of anything outside round 1.

The bottom line is quality qb's dont grow on trees.

If you think about the fact there are generally single digit quality qb's (qb's that give your team an above average chance to win) in the league at any one time, and the ones that do generally have careers spanning over a decade, it's pretty easy to see that on average each draft produces one quality qb or less.

Yet most drafts have at least half a dozen prospects touted as good to great prospects at the position. The reality is this is media hypebullshit. Look at the results, not the hype. Also look at the fact most of these quality qb's do indeed get drafted in round one.

That's literally one draft class, and lbr that's only because Fields and Jones were left. I love Horn but it'd be stupid to take him if Lawrence or Wilson were on the board given what we had at QB.

It's not even just the fact that "Haha QB if you get the #1 pick", even last year i'd say take Hutchins or trade down if we had #1 even with all our QB problems, but the fact that it is literally our weakest position and there's good prospects thereat the top of the draft.

1.) We are playing to win.

2.) We cannot see the future, so any QB we draft is risky.

3.) If we don't draft a QB high, then our risk of failure increases.

4.) I am not watching the 2023 season if we don't draft a QB in the first round. I will also leave the huddle.
